Reporting Timeline: Virginia Tech considers registration for future semesters unofficial until the first day of classes of that term. Therefore, we do not submit initial enrollment data to the Clearinghouse until the first day of classes. During Fall and Spring terms, updates of enrollment data are submitted the tenth (10th), the fortieth (40th), and last class day of that specific term. During summer sessions, initial enrollment data is submitted the second class day with an update of enrollment data submitted the last class day.
